W The University of Iowa sta dium's "lost and found" depart ment offered this as ample evi dence that excitement ran. high during the Iowa-Minnesota foot ball game Saturday: A partial plate with teeth attached was turned in at the department fol lowing tha tarn Good Work, "Pop!" THE Community Chest has gone "over the top", and this community has every right to be proud of it self and the men and "women who made the highly successful campaign possible. We commend Chairman "Pop" Gates and his co-workers for a job well done. The dividends that Chest dollars will pay in human happiness and wel fare are ample reward for workers and contributors alike. The generous support extended by neighboring communities in this year's Chest campaign is espec ially encouraging. Jacksonville, for example, turned in a greater number of individual contributions than there are families within its city limits. In this particu lar instance, the Girls Scouts performed an excellent job of soliciting. . . . IT is also to the credit of our citizenry that, in these trying time3, such emphasis has been placed upon character-building for boys and girls. This fact was true in the nation-wide "mobilization for human needs", and rightly so. The hope of America's future lies in the millions of youngsters who will become the citizens of tomorrow. They are, after all, our greatest resource. We would indeed be lacking in wisdom and foresight if we did not build in them a strength of character and a firm faith in liberty and democratic ideals. TO those who have not yet contributed to the Chest, we might offer the friendly reminder that funds will still be accepted and put to mighty good use. H.G. Strikes Versus Saboteurs A YOUNG man, only 22 sentenced to 15 years in He deserved it. The maintaining airplane sabotage is not only tantamount to treason, but comes under ed murder". But the injury to this inflicted by this young man, was infinitesimal com pared with the injury contemplated by a certain other individual, Mr. John L. Lewis.

And yet, no fine or prison sentence, or even a penny lecture, for John. John L. single-handed could (and John L. may!) through his hatred for Roosevelt and his unquenched lust for personal power, so obstruct and disorganize the U. S. defense program, that Soviet Russia will go down, with the loss of unlimited resources and count less lives, and yet, as far as our statute books are con cerned, there would be no legal way to punish, or even restrain, him. AS this department has pointed out innumerable is at war with Germany, year. During peace, the rights group of individuals, are whether "de jure" or "de facto", they are quite ANOTHER. And no individual, or period of war, a supremely critical national emerg ency, has the right, to obstruct the national defense, in any way, shape or manner, whether he happens to be a college boy working in a Baltimore airplane fac tory, or a powerful labor leader, pulling wires and is suing his secret orders, from the shadow of the hue House 1 IMOREOVER just as society in its own self protec tion, can call on the courts, backed by the police power, to restrain and punish the INDIVIDUAL sab oteur; so society in a time of national crisis, SHOULD have the same right to call on the SAME courts to restrain the individual labor leader, who places his own selfish advantage and the selfish advantage of his organization, above the welfare and security of his country. CO, as before stated in this column, we favor a law, V which would outlaw anv strike in any essential defense industry. FOR THE DURATION OF THE FRESENT WAR, and a law with just as many teeth in it as the law invoked in Baltimore yesterday against the lone pro-Nazi saboteur. With the emergency over, the war ended, we would also favor the laws repeal. Finally, if radical labor should object, we would respectfully quote John L. Lewis' own pal, Philip Murray, and his successor as president of the CIO, at that organization's convention in Detroit yesterday: "We must think In terms of what we can do to ren der the greatest service to this country and this union In a time and period when our country, in fact our uni verse Is confronted with problems, no human civilization has ever before experienced." What greater service could CIO, or organized labor as a whole, render than to declare a truce as far as strikes in defense industries are concerned for the duration of the war, and give its moral support to a law which would restrain and punish those who would insist upon ' iolating it? years of age, convicted yes- prison. judge was quite correct in the heading of attempt country's defense program, coai inuusiry , ne can even and has been for nearly a of the individual, or any ONE thing.

THE CALL OF A person who has chronic In flammation of the lining of the gall-sac, whether gall-stones are present or not, is likely to suf fer periodic at- tacks of "in testinal Indi gestion", as it is often called, with pain, flat ulence or dis tension by gas, and often dis tress or op pression refer red to the heart, perhaps with some ir regularity o f heart action all commonly at tributed to "gas". During the attack the patient may belch a good deal and when consider able gas is thus eructed relief may follow, so that the relief is attributed to "getting rid of the gas" which is a false In ference. Mere presence of a large amount of -gas or air causes neither pain nor serious oppression or embarrassment of the heart. The relief is actually due to subsidence of irritation by excessive acidity, or to sub sidence of the muscle spasm in stomach, gall-sac or bile-duct, the spasm of colic, and subsi dence of such spasm about the upper part of the stomach per mits gas to be freely belched, or about the lower end of the sto mach permits the gas to pass along thru the intestine. Such a "gas attack" or "acute intestinal indigestion" severe enough to demand medical at tention in the night, especially if it is a repeat performance and the patient is "fair-fat and for ty", makes a diagnosis of cho lecystitis (gall-bladder inflam mation) with or without gall stones, at least fairly probable. Even tho the patient com plains of "acidity" or "sour sto mach" chemical analysis shows lower acidity than normal in about two cases of gall-bladder trouble out of three. Dyspepsia is the chief com plaint in two out of three cases. Pain is the chief complaint in one-third of the cases. The pain of inflammation of the gall-bladder is usually felt in the upper quadrant of the belly or in the lower part of the right chest, but sometimes it is referred to the back under the shoulderblade. One subject to cholecystitis should avoid all, physics, as any and every physic is likely to (CoLtlnued Prom Pago One) was drafted by President Roose velt. But Knudsen was top man with General Motors, and Gen eral Motors has been favored with tremendous orders; so some of the "liberals" suspect Bill. Edward Stettinlus Jr. took a leave of absence from U. S. Steel, abandoning a larger sal ary than Knudsen's, and steel Is, naturally, one industry which has several billion dollars in orders for steel, is the base of almost every defense order with the exception of airplanes, which use aluminum. The alum inum expert, or advisor, has been released for a year by his company to serve Uncle Sam and his salary is paid by the company, around $20,000 a year. The fact that aluminum is now cheaper than ever be fore and that there are half a dozen engaged or to be engaged In its manufacture has not pre vented this expert from being a suspect with the "liberals." So it goes down the line. WHEN the government wants information on steel, automo biles, aluminum or other items it goes to a qualified expert in the Industry" the government is not hiring a truck operator to give advice on copper nor a man Pi AT THE A Nice Load of Wood Dry Pine Slabs & Rough Blocks Mixed 12 or 16-inch Lengths Valley mm ,, TEL. 337S Brady. M. D. SOME PEOPLE cause contractions of the gall sac and produce or increase pain or colic. Naturally and normally the ejection of the chyme (partly di gested food mass) from the sto mach into the duodenum, which occurs mainly two to three hours after a meal, stimulates contraction of the gall-sac and bile-ducts and expulsion or ejec tion of bile into the intestine where it is required for the fur ther digestion of the chyme. This effect is more vigorous when the food happens to con sist largely of fat, such as egg yolk, cream, butter, animal fats, olive oil. Hence it may be ad visable to reduce the propor tions of these foods in the diet when gall-bladder trouble is se vere. It has been theoretically pro posed that these foods and cer tain others, notably peas, beans, wheat, liver and brains, because they contain considerable cho lesterol, be excluded from or kept at a minimum in the diet of the cholecystitis patient, as cholesterol enters into the form ation of most gallstones. I dont know much about it, but I doubt that this idea is of practical im portance. I do know that there is no sound reason why one with gall-bladder trouble should not eat all kinds of lean meats, cot tage or Dutch cheese, milk, and all kinds of fruit and vegetables, with the possible exception of the two mentioned peas and beans. And I believe one with gall-bladder trouble generally gets along more comfortably on four or five light or small meals than on two or three large or heavy meals daily. QIESTIONS ANSWERS No Fink Slips, Plraae A while ago I Inquired about the quinine treatment for Meniere' dl eaae. I received a pink slip about quinine but It uld nothing about Meniere' disease. (.. F. K.) Answer Sorry, old timer, Charcot's directions for use of quinine for Men iere's disease were six grains of qui nine with meals twice dally for fif teen days, then a rest for eight days, than another fifteen days course, an other eight days rest, and so on for four or five courses. The head nolaes and vertigo may seem aggravated at first, but presently this effect sub side and gratirylng relief follows In a fair share of cases. (Copyright 1941, John F. Dtlle Co.) Ed.

And, nat urally, these $l-a-year men see that part of the business goes to their company. This Is the point the Truman committee and the house liberal bloc Is concerned about. 1 Army and navy, when they wanted a tank, anti-aircraft gun or whatever, placed their orders with the largest companies in the country; the concerns have felt they could complete the order and deliver on time. Neither army nor navy was con cerned about small business; they were not looking for little shops to do this or that. This went on well enough for a time, but little business began starv ing to death because it could either not obtain materials or Its priority was worthless. Lit tle business began to yell and congress took heed. VERY frankly, the man ap pointed to distribute contracts to small business declared that unless something is done 20.000 small industries would suffer. Another official estimates that 120.000 little concerns must go out of business because all the material must be used for de fense. Civilians, he contends, will have to get along as best they can: that is the sacrifice the people must make in this emergency. This means that every indus try, almost without exception, from Bellingham, Wash., to Medford, Ore., will be forced to close and their workers thrown out of employment. There Is already a trend In that direc tion; shops shutting down and the workers going to the ship yards. The big companies have received millions of dollars for plant expansion and new ma chine tools and are undertaking to do all of the Job without "farming out" bits and piece.. Fuel Co. Hal Uf flat ft 21 W. MAIN as is the practice in England. The picture as seen by the liberal bloc ii that when the war Is over the entire business of the United States will be in the hands of a few industrial corporations and the country will be strewn with the ruins of small business. The liberals wish .to probe into this situa tion and discover whether there is a remedy. They also promise something sensational. If the probe is made; the Truman com mittee promises nothing, but ex pects to show up some peculiar things in the matter of awarding contracts to big business. By FRANK JENKINS KURUSU talks this (Monday) morning with Secretary Hull and President Roosevelt. Coming from the conference, he wears a poker face and has nothing to say. j IN Tokyo, Premier-General To jo TALKS. He tells the Jap diet the new government ex pects: 1. Third powers to refrain from obstructing Japan's success ful conclusion of the China af fair. 2. Nations which have erected blockades to restore economic re lations with Japan. 3. That utmost efforts will be exerted to prevent extension of the European war and spread of disturbances in East Asia. IN Chungking (Chinese capital) Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek tells the People's Political Council: "Now is the vital moment.' He urges Britain and the United States to SMASH JAPAN without delay unless she with draws from China and breaks with the axis. IN Australia, Premier Canberra says: "The danger to Australia in the Pacific is very, very great. "No Australian knows when we may be called upon to defend ourselves." JAPAN is reported to be pour ing troops and supplies into Indo-China. The original agree ment called for 40,000. She al ready has 45.000 there and is de manding permission to send 50, 000 more. Indo-China is FRENCH. The Vichy French are believed to be about ready to throw in WHOLLY with Hitler. CHINESE military forces are re ported to be blowing up roads and bridges on the Chinese side of the Indo-China border. Your map will tell you the Indo-China border Is about where Japan would be likely to strike at the Burma road if she decides to strike. Chinese reinforcements are pouring into the area. HARK back to Munich. You can hardly fail to be struck by the similarity between the present Japanese situation and the situation that existed at Munich two and a half years ago. Munich resulted In war. THERE Is a happy-go-lucky feel ing in the United States that Japan can't afford to go to war and therefore won't. Remember this: Japan Is dominated by a mili tary clique that would lose face and therefore might lose every thing (including their heads) if Japan ii compelled to get out of China which is believed to be included In American demands. ON the home front, this dispatch comes today from Pittsburgh: "Complying with orders of UMW Chieftain John L. Lewis, most of Western Pennsylvania's "captive" coal miners stayed from the bituminous pits today, cutting off fuel supplies to steel mills for the third time in ten days." The union shop is the sole Is sue in the dispute. In The ' Das News : PBESTOHE HUBBARD BROS. Inc. Communications Fears John L. Lewis Dictatorship To the editor: In our present national labor trouble I hope one great crisis is past, since our president had the courage, the good Judgment and the wise counsel which prompted him to tell John L. Lewis that our government would never try to force an employer to make a closed-shop or union-shop agreement with any union. I do not believe that will end the trouble at all but at least It is a step in the right direction. I Labor unions have done a great deal to better the lot of; the worker, no one will deny, j and there is still much to be done. But it can be done much more effectively by considering the welfare of the whole nation rather than only one minority group, or the personal aspira tions of some labor leader. I may be unduly apprehensive but it seems to me we are in greater danger from dictatorship within our own country than from Hitler's dictatorship. If John L. Lewis had, or if he still does succeed in getting his closed-shop or union-shop he will be well on the way to be coming our dictator. He would have almost complete control of the coal industry, which in turn would enable him to get control of the steel industry, then the auto and other kindred indus tries. Then he could paralyze at will our whole Industrial life and perhaps defy our national government and become in fact a dictator in a big way. I think we should not only NOT force the union or closed shop, but should pass laws, and enforce them, prohibiting any such arrangement in any de fense industry at least. There are too many racketeers among our labor leaders now and the closed-shop greatly increases Ihe opportunities for their nefarious work. A Constant Reader (Name on file) 0REG0T1YGET NEW ZINC PLAN!
